Funny The Way It Is Uke tab by Dave Matthews Band (Baritone Chords)

Am
Lyin' in the park  
     G
On a beautiful day
    Em                         F
Sun shine in the grass and the children play 
Am
Siren's passin' 
G
Fire engine's red
          Em                         F
Someone's house is burning down on a day like this 
 
 
       Am
The evening comes 
          G
And we're hangin' out 
              Em
On the front step 
                           F 
And a car goes by with the windows rolled down 
         Am                            G
And that war song is playin “why can't we be friends?” 
          Em                          F              
Someone's screamin' and cryin' in the apartment upstairs 
 
 
C
Funny the way it is 
           G
And if you think about it 
    Bm
Somebody's goin' hungry 
            F
And someone else is eatin' out 
C
Funny the way it is 
        G
Whether right or wrong 
         Bm
Somebody's heart is broken 
       F     
And it becomes your favorite song 
 
Bridge:
xA|-------8-8---3-3---5-5---7-7---8-8---10--10----12--12----|
xE|--1-1----------------------------------------------------|
xC|---------------------------------------------------------|
xG|---------------------------------------------------------|
 
 
Am                               G
The way your mouth feels in your lover's kiss 
              Em
Like a pretty bird on a breeze 
   F
Or water to a fish 
      Am                             G
But a bomb blast brings the building crashin' to the floor 
         Em                 F
Hear the laughter while the children play war 
 
Chorus:
C
Funny the way it is 
           G
And if you think about it 
        Bm
One kid walks 10 miles to school 
      F
While another's droppin' out 
C
Funny the way it is 
          G
No matter right or wrong 
       Bm
On a soldier's last breath 
     F
His baby's being born

Dm                  C
Standin' on a Bridge  
                F             Dm
Watch the water passin' under me 
             C
It must have been much harder 
 
When there was no Bridge just water 
Dm                  C
Now the world is small 
                 F
Remember how it used to be 
Dm                              
With mountains, and oceans, and winters, and rivers and 
G
Stars
 
Interlude - x2 -: Am G G F
 
Verse:
Am                G                
Watch the sky the jet-planes
                  Em
So far out of my reach 
                                  F
Is there someone up there lookin' down on me? 
Am
Boy chase a bird
   G
So close but every time 
   Em
He never catch her 
       F
But he can't stop trying

C
Funny the way it is
